SRES 932 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating the month of October 2024 as "National Military Toxic Exposures Awareness Month".

SRES 932 designates October 2024 as "National Military Toxic Exposures Awareness Month" to highlight historical and ongoing health impacts of toxic exposures on veterans, military families, and civilian workers at military sites. The resolution calls for public recognition of affected veterans, encourages use of existing Department of Veterans Affairs resources, and urges continued efforts to prevent future toxic exposures. It does not create new benefits or policies but focuses on raising awareness and honoring those impacted by exposures like Agent Orange, burn pits, and contaminated water. This symbolic resolution follows the PACT Act (2022), which expanded veterans' access to healthcare for toxic exposure-related conditions.
